Page 2 The Bulletin of Temple Beth El May 2013From Our Spiritual Leader,

Cantor Shoshana Brown

Shalom, Temple Beth El Members:

I am thinking of Garrison Keillor’s traditional monologue-opening every week on The Prairie Home Companion, “Well, it’s been a quiet week in Lake Woebegone, my hometown.”been a quiet week in Lake Woebegone, my hometown.”

This has certainly not been true for any of us in the United This has certainly not been true for any of us in the United States this past month, and especially not true for residents of true for residents of Massachusetts! (Having lived 6 years in the Boston-Cambridge Massachusetts! (Having lived 6 years in the Boston-Cambridge area and 5 years in Leominster, MA, I count myself among you even though I have been living in “exile” on Long Island for the even though I have been living in “exile” on Long Island for the last 17 years!) We have watched media images or listened to the last 17 years!) We have watched media images or listened to the radio in disbelief over the past week (of this writing)–bombs on the streets of Boston?! Cambridge and Watertown in a lockdown?! the streets of Boston?! Cambridge and Watertown in a lockdown?! Whoever heard of such a thing, or could have imagined it? And Whoever heard of such a thing, or could have imagined it? And then, in the wake of this shock, a huge explosion of unknown cause rocks a tiny town in Texas, killing 14 or more people and injuring rocks a tiny town in Texas, killing 14 or more people and injuring scores more. Add to this floods in the Midwest, a deadly avalanche in Colorado...

And yet, we must go on with our lives: get up, go to work, get the kids off to school, go shopping, take the dog for a walk, get the kids off to school, go shopping, take the dog for a walk, the car to the mechanic, etc. At the end of the week we might find the car to the mechanic, etc. At the end of the week we might find ourselves in synagogue, eagerly discussing all these sad and bi-zarre events with one another, taking comfort in the fact that we have a community, friends with whom to share the burden of all our thoughts, our shock, our grief, and perhaps our fear. And dur-ing prayer...? What do we say to the Ribbono shel Olam (Master (Master of the Universe)? What kind of “master” is so hands-off from his/of the Universe)? What kind of “master” is so hands-off from his/her creatures or creation that s/he lets them go so terribly wrong? Of course this is not a new question. We also commemorated Yom HaShoahHaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) this past month, and Yom HaZikaronHaZikaron (the Memorial Day for Israel’s fallen soldiers). Sad-ness, tragedy, the loss of young lives is nothing new to us as Jews...in fact, it goes back to the Torah’s first tale of murder when Cain slew his brother Abel. Although in that story God “intervenes” slew his brother Abel. Although in that story God “intervenes” long enough to exhort Cain that he has the power to master his evil urges (cf. Gen. 4:6-7), there is no intervention at the critical moment: when the innocent Abel is being slain. And yet in our moment: when the innocent Abel is being slain. And yet in our most central prayer (the Amidah) we extol God as somekh noflim (one who lifts up the fallen), rofeh cholim (who heals the sick) and (who heals the sick) and matir asurim (who frees the bound)–and elsewhere (in the Psalms) (who frees the bound)–and elsewhere (in the Psalms) as one who “frustrates the designs of the wicked.”

Does God do all these things? And if not, does that mean that Does God do all these things? And if not, does that mean that our tradition is full of wishful thinking, that there is no God? Or our tradition is full of wishful thinking, that there is no God? Or that God is uninvolved in this world? These are big questions that no one can answer satisfactorily, but that we can live an answer an answer to. The Mourners’ Kaddish, which we say for 11 months after the death of a parent, is not a “prayer for the dead” as some think. It is a paean of praise to God which makes no mention of death. Why do we say it when we are bereaved, when perhaps the last thing we may be feeling is that we want to thank or praise God? The rabbis of old established this custom both because they knew that we had of old established this custom both because they knew that we had

to keep making our lips form the words that our hearts could not necessarily feel...until the heart could feel them again. And they in-sisted that we say these words in the company of a minyan – not only because they thought God deserves a quorum, but because they knew that a mourner needs community. Likewise, the com-munity needs to do the work of comforting the mourner, and all the other kinds of work that help to avert tragedy, premature death, in-justice, suffering...and these days we can also add to this list things like degradation of the environment. We need to come together to be God’s hands in the world, to speak God’s words of comfort, to do the acts of justice and tikkun (repair) of both the social and the natural order.

Mourner’s Kaddish is a spoken recitation of praise. We do not sing it, for it would be too much to ask a mourner to sing while s/he is in such pain. But we cannot live by recitation and a sense of responsibility alone. The burden is too heavy, even in community. The soul needs to sing, to nonetheless notice all the beauty and wonder of God’s creation, and to give thanks for the miracle of our being conscious creatures in this Universe, ones who can perceive all this and reflect on it.

Singing praise to God is not theology. It is relationship. It does not answer the questions about evil and suffering. Rather, it thrusts us back into a relationship of love, wonder, and trust...it makes no “sense,” and yet–like the birds who are beginning to pour forth their amazing melodies at this time of the year–how can we live without singing praise?

There was a moment in my life when I tried to be an atheist, when I thought that since I could not be sure of God’s existence, I should therefore live my live “alone,” without God. That moment did not last long. It was too sad, too lonely, too burdensome to have no One to turn to, to sing to, to give thanks to. I did not want to live without a connection to the Divine. So although I cannot answer the questions that have been mightily stirred up in this past month, I know that I can turn to others, to community, and to the Creator whom I cannot grasp with my reason–but whom I can meet with love, and be united to in song.

Looking forward to singing with you soon,

Hazzan Shoshana Brown

President’s MessageDear Members,

As I look out my window at a wonderfully sunny day, filled As I look out my window at a wonderfully sunny day, filled with a cloudless blue sky, budding trees and colorful spring flow-ers, it seems like the earth has been reborn and anything is pos-sible. I feel the same way about the future of Temple Beth El.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the events surrounding I would be remiss if I did not mention the events surrounding the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to those who lost their lives as well as to those whose goes out to those who lost their lives as well as to those whose lives have been forever changed. I don’t think we will ever be able to understand what prompts people to commit such heinous acts to understand what prompts people to commit such heinous acts against innocent victims, but as Jews we can certainly relate to the senseless violence. This attack was so close to home it was eerily frightening, and indeed Scott Tepper was unable to come to ser-vices that Friday because his town of Waltham was in “lockdown.” vices that Friday because his town of Waltham was in “lockdown.” We are grateful that he and his family are safe, and also grateful for We are grateful that he and his family are safe, and also grateful for the lengths to which our law enforcement officers went to identify and track down the suspects. As a result of their diligence and and track down the suspects. As a result of their diligence and bravery not only Boston but all of Massachusetts and beyond can bravery not only Boston but all of Massachusetts and beyond can once again feel safe in their homes. Watching the events unfold I was amazed at the selfless way so many people responded to help in any way they could - it made me realize how proud I am to live in Massachusetts, USA. Boston strong!

Cemetery Headstone CleaningOur cemetery landscaper, Tommy Fillipovich, has once

again offered to pressure-wash the headstones and foot mark-ers using a biodegradable cleanser that won’t damage the stones or the surrounding grass. The results are impressive, with most stones looking amazingly like new.

As setting up the equipment is time-consuming, Tommy has offered to do all of the pressure-washing in one day for a dis-counted price. Headstones will be cleaned for $60 each, foot markers for $15 each. In order to take advantage of the discount, we must receive your check no later than May 17th. Those stones that have been paid for will be clean and shiny in time for Memorial Day weekend. For those who miss the deadline, the cost for cleaning a headstone will be $100, a foot marker will be $25, and they will be cleaned at our landscaper’s convenience. .

Please call the office for more information.

Go Green!

Donate a Tree to the Temple Beth El Cemetery!

Over the course of the past five years or so, all of the trees in the center section of the Temple Beth El Cemetery have been lost to storms. We would like to replace five trees -- one in the middle of the center section, and one on each corner.

If you would like to sponsor a tree, please call the office. Each trees can be sponsored for $1000, and a plaque will be installed on or beside it. You may even choose your type of tree! The trunk of each young tree is approximately 2 1/2” in diameter, and each tree is around 10-12 feet tall to begin with. The following trees have been recommended for our site, and the details of each tree are as follows:

1. “October Glory” Red Maple. A rapid growing Red Maple. This ever-popular maple should be considered as a beautiful shade tree addition to any property. Glistening dark green leaves in spring, summer turn radiant red late fall and last several weeks. Tiny, conspicuous red flowers bloom in spring. Showy red fruit attract many birds and other wildlife. Grows 40’-50’ high with a 25’-35’ spread.

2. Sugar Maple. The Sugar Maple is a landscape standout. Medium to dark-green leaves turn yellow, burnt orange or red in fall. Tolerates shade, likes a well-drained, moderately moist, fertile soil. Grows to 60’ to 75’, 40’-50’ spread.

3. London Plane. Red-brown scales flake to show cream-colored inner bark. Large distinc-tive leaves with lighter undersides. Fast growing, resistant to anthracnose. Prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Grows to 75’ to 100’, 80’ spread

4. Princeton Elm. This disease-resistant Elm can grow to over 90 feet in height, and is distinguished by its dense, symmetrical, upright form and dark green foliage, ulti-mately forming a broad umbrella crown. The ‘Princeton’ grows quickly, with young trees increasing in height by over 5 feet per year.
